St. Mary's Basilica, a hallmark of Gothic architecture, is renowned for its stunning wooden altarpiece carved by Veit Stoss, which is the largest of its kind in Europe. Visitors should time their visit around noon to witness the hourly hejnał, a trumpet signal played from the basilica's taller tower. Rynek Główny, the sprawling medieval town square surrounding the basilica, is alive with vibrant cultural energy. Look out for the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice) at the square’s center, offering a blend of Renaissance architecture and a bustling market. For a unique perspective, climb the Town Hall Tower for panoramic views of Kraków. Capture the vivid street life, charming horse-drawn carriages, and seasonal events that animate the square.
